    Default Bought a Fatboy Today

    Just ordered a 1961 Fatboy today from eBay for about $75.00. Could probably have gotten one for less but this one was pristine and had 14 day return policy unlike most. These things sell quick and was glad to get it.

    My favorite razor! Congrats. Start out at a lower number and gradually work your way up.

    $75 for a pristine Fatboy is really not a bad price at all. Use it in good health! It is one of if not the "best" DE razors ever made!

    Congrats! Now to round things out, you should go buy a Harley Davidson Fat Boy. Both are great!!

    Very nice! One of the few vintage razors that are worth the market price.

    wow, your smiles must be huge, but i believe the rules around here are.... "if there aint no pic, it never happened"

    so about that picture ?

    Enjoy! I exclusively use my Fatboy. I have a couple of super speeds that I bought for $8 a piece at an antique shop but they never get used. I have not bought any other razors as I don't feel the need to. My next razor purchase may even be another Fatboy just for a back up.

    Bought the same one off eBay yesterday. My first Fatboy. As you can see from my signature, I've acquired a few razors in the past month or so. Looking forward to trying this baby out after I perfect my technique with my '57 SS.
